Ahhh. So new middie going to Pack - upset middie going to Express.

ok Dad. BEST MID on WP is #3 by far..

The WP mid who just left was a starter in the summer but was moved behind the coach's son and another mid from bayport. Upset with daddy ball he moved to express.

Not any better on Express coaches kid plays 1st line Mid and shouldn't.

100% made-up news. Coaches sons don’t start and no Bayport midi’s start.

What you don’t realize is, the WP playing time was dominated by players that didn’t see the field against Taz. That score was completely managed by the coach through playing time of his bench, and the final outcome was NEVER in doubt. Sorry to burst your bubble, but your team belongs where they are. The bottom dwellers of the A division. And based on the offense that I witnessed on Sunday, that isn’t going to change any time soon. What’s next for Express? The B division with Igloo?

Has the pack even played a game since last summer?

They lost to Express, Eclipse (Playday) and now Taz. It’s not the same dominant team as last year and without #3 not even in the top 5 in the country. Although the have a lot of talent he does everything for them FO, scores, plays defense and is great in transition. Pack had depth last year. Not the case right now. That was one of the pieces that made them special was when the second line kids could play with any other teams first line. Your seeing the wheels being run off of the first line Pack players. Still a silly conversation since they are one of the top teams in the country just not the best on LI.

haters gonna detest but they still the champs

Truth Hurts.

no one is hating. the facts are the facts. Teams change for the good and the bad every year as they grow. No one said WP is a bad team, Just not as strong as they once were. That goes for all teams the parity is a lot closer now..

We know all the top teams have great players but what is everyone’s thoughts on who has the top coaches at 2024 on Long Island at all the levels of play?

Who does #3 play for now?

they lost to Eclispe the last 3 times and express north ..

still WP.

My opinion - save the flame wars, you don't have to agree

Legacy Taz - smart guy who knows how to coach the game. AA team.

91 WP - Some of the coaches are egotistical meatheads. But the results speak for themselves. AA team.

Rush - super smart, detail oriented coach with a team that has minimal talent. Still, if you watch them play, they're very well coached. B- team. A+ coaching.

Legacy Launch - another smart coach who knows the game. A relatively new team but one that has steadily improved year after year. A or A- team.

Express O'Reilly - the coach is an aquired taste but teaches the game. Stern but fair would be a good decription. And your 9th grader may still learn a few new words ... B team.

I'd be okay with my kid playing for any one of these teams. Hope that helps.

Same two-horse race it’s always been on LI. Taz and WP. So far in this young season, they have split games although the point differential is heavily in 91’s favor. Looking forward to the next matchup of these two great teams! Shame that there isn’t a single team on the island that can play with either one. STILL no parody on the island, outside of these two teams, even after alllllllllllllllllllllllllll these years.

Love em or detest em, ya have to credit the 91 coaches. 4 coaches and 4 coaches kids on the team. And not one of them is a starter. Apparently no daddy ball on 91. Can any other team make that claim?

Where all holdbacks go on Long Island. To Express. Heard he was an old holdback, almost a double holdback. He should fit right into the culture at Express.

A process of elimination. Taz coaches change every other year. Who is the new guy? Express: Ask any express parent. Where is Schwaldo? After 8 years, still can’t beat any AA teams. Enough said. WP coaches: same since day one. Consistency/longevity. Nice. None of their kids are starters. No daddy ball. Double-nice! Multiple Suffolk county coach of the Year honors. Ok. Not bad. Sorry. B team coaches obviously don’t qualify. There you have it folks. Let the readers be the judge.

Typical uneducated, load mouthed Pack parent who yet again runs their mouth and pounds their chest while at the same time illustrates their inability to even read.

The OP asked "at all the levels of play" so B team coaches do qualify for a correct answer. The reply to the OP does not mention Schwaldo as "top" coach. Next time someone please draw this bozo a picture so he get's it.

Last weekend was the first tournament, how did they split?

They are counting the scrimmage the prior week but failing to mention they lost to Express 7 to 1.
As it regards to Daddy ball, what number is their 3rd starting middle?

Tourney machine has it Express 1-2 lost to WP and TAZ
TAZ- 3-0
WP 2-1 lost to TAZ
Launch 3-0
EXPRESS o 1-2 lost to windchill and lauch
Windchill - 2-1 lost to Lauch
TRUE Blue 2-1 lost to launch

That seems Like a very accurate assessment. It’s simple Get with a program that will teach your kids. If they aren’t Constantly teaching your just wasting your money. If your team hasn’t made progress in years it’s very telling of the leadership. If it’s going Backwards then why are you still there. If it’s showing progress and growth then enjoy the moments because time goes very fast. Make sure your in the right program.

Where’s the “parody” preacher? I don’t see it. A couple of teams have emerged as top tier in the past year, such as Eclipse, but other than a couple of teams, the 2024 landscape is exactly as it has been since the beginning. Exact same teams still rising to the top and Taz is right there where we always are. At the top with Wolfpack. Express gave it a run for a year or two, but still couldn’t beat the big dogs, even with all their Huge holdbacks. Now they are just left with substandard older players, that aren’t even bigger anymore. No parody on LI. Same ole same ole.

It’s common knowledge that Express got 3 reclass kids from the 2023 team. Did they play last weekend?

Not True...sorry to say you are an stunad that just likes to start rumors. Like CNN fake news

Oh it’s true alright. Not a secret. Ask your kid, if you are so ill informed. Or ask ANY kid. Happens at this age all the time with Express and the Catholics. No need to try to sweep it under the rug. We’re all use to it. Express is the Madlax of the island, hold-back-wise. Meanwhile my Taz team is still holdback free. And now that WP dumped their only holdback midi off on Express (yes, Express gets yet another holdback) they are back to being hold-back-free as well. What’s it feel like, cheating your butts off, and still being subpar? Kinda pointless, cheating, don’t you think?

Our problem is not coaching and not lack of offensive talent. It’s politics. Kids are locked into starting jobs due to relationships with CoachC. The best LIE players are on the bench. You don’t believe me, ask the best FO midi at this age, who now plays for 91, but didn’t FO at all for LIE. “Splain” that!

detest to be that guy but the word is PARITY not parody

Igloo just beat true blue 4-1

igloo beat true blue 4-1

Tournament in Delaware . Is Delaware on the Quarantine list ?

Yes Delaware is, but rule for NY is so long as you are not there more then 24 consecutive hrs you do not have to quarantine, of which no teams where.

You only have to quarantine if they or stay in the stay for 24 hours . Some really great lax as well !,

Congrats to Taz for kicking MD holdback butt, down in DE this weekend! Long Island still reigns supreme! 2023-age teams, posing as 2024-age teams. Doesn’t matter to us!

Yes! Denver Co & Madlax are legit!! Games were awesome!!

Why did hawks only play twice

Madlax missing #19 ATTACKMAN and big face off midi? The talk on the MD board is that both players couldn’t take the nutcase coach/owner anymore and moved on to different teams. Can anyone confirm that? Those two were their biggest impact players. Regardless, great job by the Taz boys cementing themselves back in the elite of 2024. Nice job boys.
